If you're an adventurous cook, chances are you’ve made on Ottolenghi recipe! The chef and newspaper columnist has written nine bestselling cookbooks, including Jerusalem, Plenty and Comfort, and co-owns 12 restaurants and delis, mostly in London. Yotam and I talk about how he found his way to a food career (he has advanced degrees in completely different subjects) and tackle philosophical questions like: Is cooking an art form? Do homely, but delicious dishes belong in cookbooks despite their lack of beauty? For the past decade, the brand’s creative hub is the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, where a team of diverse cooks create and test recipes with Yotam at the helm. So I chat with a man who has run many magazine test kitchens, Hunter Lewis, editor-in-chief of Food and Wine Magazine . He takes us behind the scenes of the test kitchen to see how the sausage is literally and figuratively made. Get tickets to see Yotam Ottolenghi on tour!

Yotam Ottolenghi is a celebrated chef and bestselling cookbook author. He is the restauranteur and chef-patron of six London-based Ottolenghi delis, as well as the NOPI and ROVI restaurants. He is the author of ten bestselling and multi-award-winning cookbooks, including his latest, "Comfort". Ottolenghi has been a weekly columnist for the Guardian (UK) for over sixteen years and is a regular contributor to The New York Times . His commitment to the championing of vegetables, as well as ingredients once seen as ‘exotic’, has led to what some call ‘The Ottolenghi effect’. This is shorthand for the creation of a meal which is full of color, flavor, bounty, and surprise. On October 10, 2024, Yotam Ottolenghi came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an onstage conversation with fellow writer and cook Samin Nosrat , author of the James Beard Award-winning cookbook Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and the host and executive producer of the Netflix original documentary series based on her book.

Yotam Ottolenghi's books are a fixture on the shelves of many home cooks. In his latest cookbook, written with co-authors Helen Goh, Verena Lochmuller and Tara Wigley, the Israeli-British chef and restaurateur turns his eye towards comfort food. Ottolenghi Comfort considers the rituals and recipes that produce comfort in our culinary experiences, like the simple acts of holding a bowl or making a one-pot meal. In today's episode, Ottolenghi speaks with Here & Now's Robin Young about the memories we carry with us, whether they're connected to a childhood dish or an Oasis song. They also discuss the chef's perfect equation for comfort food, which often involves cauliflower.

Yotam Ottolenghi, de chef die ons za'atar en tahin leerde eten, heeft een nieuw boek: 'Comfort'. Over comfortfood: troosteten dat voelt als een warm dekentje. Linde Merckpoel trok naar de testkeuken van Ottolenghi in Londen. Ze sprak er met hem en met coauteur Verena Lochmuller. En ze mocht voorproeven: boterzachte sperziebonen, want in het Ottolenghi-universum zijn die even troostrijk als kip of kippensoep. Luister hier naar het integrale gesprek.
